I think he may have read it here:I read somewhere that instead of the Kelvin, the ship was the original TOS Enterprise captained by Robert April that was destroyed by the Narada and that a new Enterprise would have been built like we saw in the film, but Paramount said "No Way."
Sounds like fanwanky speculation to me.
Still waiting for substantiation on that....If they went with their original plans and had the TV show design Enterprise commanded by Capitan April be destroyed by Nero then the alterted time line story would have made sense. ...
So you're saying I was right
